10、PL/34/9. Optical fibre systems can provide a viable alternative solution for emergency lighting applications where the traditional electric lamp systems described in BS 5266 : Part 1 are either impractical, unsuitable or costly, for example, in explosive atmospheres, low level applications, inaccess
11、ible positions or small systems. This standard has been prepared with the specific aim of providing for interchangeability to: a) allow an emergency lighting system to be designed for an application using component parts from many different manufacturers; b) allow component parts to be upgraded to k
12、eep pace with technological advances or to be changed to accord with aesthetic requirements; c) allow the potential long life of an optical fibre system to be realized (optical fibres are virtually ageless and only the light source is liable to deteriorate with age). To avoid the introduction of new
13、 test procedures use is made of established test procedures in other British Standards wherever they are considered applicable. This standard is complementary to BS 5266 : Part 4 which provides specific guidance on design, installation and maintenance of optical fibre emergency lighting systems addi
14、tional to the general guidance and recommendations given on electric lamp emergency lighting systems in BS 5266 : Part 1. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance wi
15、th a British Standard does not itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 12, an inside back cover and a back cover. BSI 07-1999 1 BS 5266 : Part 5 : 1999 1 Scope This Part of BS 5266 specif
16、ies requirements for optical fibres, lightguides, connectors, emission end mounting arrangements and light sources to be used in optical fibre emergency lighting systems. Constructional and performance requirements are given, including performance under fire conditions. The standard is applicable to
17、 the component parts of an emergency lighting system using optical fibre lightguides to distribute light from a light source to one or more lighting positions remote to that light source. The standard specifies the use of optical fibres with end illumination and end emission. It is not applicable to
18、 optical fibres with end illumination and side wall emission. NOTE. This Part is to be used in conjunction with BS 5266 : Part 1 and BS 5266 : Part 4. 2 References 2.1 Normative references This Part of BS 5266 incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These nor
19、mative references are made at the appropriate places in the text and the cited publications are listed on page 12. For dated references only, the cited edition applies; any subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of the cited publications apply to this Part of BS 5266 only when incorporated in
20、the reference by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the cited publication applies, together with any amendments. 2.2 Informative references This Part of BS 5266 refers to other publications that provide information or guidance. Editions of these publications current
21、 at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS 5266 the definitions given in BS 5266 : Part 1 : 1988 and BS 5266 : Part 4 : 1999 apply. 4 General NOTE. The components s
22、pecified in this Part of BS 5266 are suitable for systems to be used in air. Where component parts are to be used in any other environment, for example in an explosive atmosphere, their suitability for use in that particular environment should be checked with the manufacturer. 4.1 Working life The m
23、anufacturer shall assign a recommended working life to each component part of an optical fibre system, or assembly of such parts to allow the purchaser to plan and make provision for future replacement. The assigned working life shall be qualified by recommended maintenance where this is necessary t
24、o achieve or optimize the working life. NOTE 1. For innovative materials the results of accelerated ageing tests may be used to establish the potential working life. NOTE 2. The manufacturer should state the basis upon which the recommended working life has been established. NOTE 3. In the case of l
25、ight sources the recommended working life should not include the lamp. However, the light source design should be such as to allow the lamp to achieve the rated life declared by the lamp manufacturer. NOTE 4. The requirements for battery working life are given in 9.5.2. 4.2 Corrosion resistance The
26、component parts of an optical fibre system, particularly metallic parts, shall either have inherent resistance to corrosion or be given a corrosion resistant finish or treatment suitable for the application. 5 Optical fibres 5.1 Composition Fibres shall: a) have a silicate core and silicate cladding
27、; or b) be manufactured from silica; or c) be manufactured from multi-component glass; or d) be manufactured from any other material having equivalent light transmission and survivable thermal characteristics. NOTE 1. Whilst minor dimensional inaccuracies in individual fibres do not significantly af
28、fect lightguide performance, manufacturing techniques should be used which keep these inaccuracies to a minimum. NOTE 2. Optical fibres for visible light applications need not be manufactured to the same purity or dimensional accuracy as optical fibres for data and communication transmission applica
29、tions but the use of fibres of higher purity and dimensional accuracy is not excluded. NOTE 3. Recommendations for safety when handling and using optical fibres are given in annex E of BS 5266 : Part 4 : 1999. The core and cladding shall be hot drawn to provide a homogeneous fibre of circular cross-
30、section and uniform construction. Multimode transmission shall be provided. 5.2 Refractive index Fibres shall have a step index profile. 5.3 Numerical aperture Fibres shall have a numerical aperture greater than 0.45 and less than 0.8. 5.4 Spectral bandwidth Fibres shall have a spectral bandwidth be
31、tween 400 nm and 700 nm.2 BSI 07-1999 BS 5266 : Part 5 : 1999 5.5 Fibre attenuation loss The fibre bundle shall have a fibre attenuation loss not greater than 500 dB/km (0.5 dB/m) at 550 nm. 6 Lightguides 6.1 Classification There are two categories of lightguide. a) Category 1: A lightguide possessi
32、ng no inherent integrity under fire conditions and limited resistance to environmental conditions and/or mechanical damage. Intended for applications where these aspects will be addressed by other means. b) Category 2: A lightguide possessing fire integrity not less than that corresponding to Catego
33、ry B of BS 6387 : 1994. Resistance to environmental conditions and/or mechanical damage may be inherent to the construction or provided by other means. 6.2 Fibre bundles Individual fibres shall be laid up in random formation to produce a bundle of circular cross-section. At least 80 % of the surface
34、 area of a bundle shall be formed by active fibre cores. It shall be permissible for propagation to occur through the fibre cladding to maximize transmission of light. NOTE 1. Fibre bundles should generally be flexible to allow bending during installation but it is acceptable to fuse fibres together
35、 to form a solid bundle where this will have advantages. Fusing may be for the entire length of the bundle or at discrete points such as at connectors. It shall be permissible for fibre bundles to incorporate one or more strength members where necessary to minimize fibre breakage during installation
36、. Strength members shall be electrically non-conductive. NOTE 2. Strength members should preferably be placed around the outer edge of the bundle adjacent to the covering or inner layer of a multi-layer construction to avoid blank spots in the active area. 6.3 Covering material and its application 6
37、.3.1 General Material in contact with optical fibres shall be such that it does not affect their physical or optical properties and does not have a long term detrimental effect upon the fibre material. 6.3.2 Hydrogen diffusion Either the covering material shall be resistant to hydrogen diffusion, or
38、 the manufacturer shall provide information with the lightguide on how to protect the fibres from hydrogen diffusion. 6.3.3 Application of covering Where a single layer covering is used it shall be homogeneous and closely applied to the fibre bundle. For a multi-layer covering the inner layer shall
39、be such as to maintain the fibre bundle in accordance with 6.2. It shall be possible to remove the covering, or inner layer, without damage to the fibres. NOTE. A coating or wrapping may be applied to the fibre bundle prior to application of the covering or inner layer to assist with its removal. 6.
40、4 Temperature and bending characteristics 6.4.1 Lightguides shall be tested in accordance with 6.4.2 and shall conform to the following. a) The change in fibre attenuation loss between 208C and 08C shall not exceed 0.5 dB. b) When the lightguide is bent with an internal bending radius not exceeding
41、8 times the nominal outer diameter of the lightguide, at 208C and at 08C, the fibre attenuation loss shall not increase by more than 0.5 dB. It shall be permissible for stiffness to be incorporated into the lightguide by, for example, armouring or strength members to ensure that a smaller bending ra
42、dius is not introduced during installation. 6.4.2 The light transmittance loss of the lightguide shall be measured using a light source and a detector. The light transmittance loss shall be measured before and after bending the lightguide with an internal bending radius not exceeding 8 times the nom
43、inal outer diameter of the lightguide in accordance with the method given in annex B of BS 6387 : 1994. The test shall be carried out at 208C and at 08C. The changes in attenuation loss can be calculated from the light transmittance losses by subtraction; the coupling losses, being the same, cancel
44、out. 6.5 Resistance to impact 6.5.1 Covering materials shall provide protection against impact damage during handling, installation and subsequent service. The resistance provided shall be clearly detailed in the design information provided by the manufacturer to allow special handling techniques to
45、 be used or additional protection to be provided as part of the installation procedure. When tested in accordance with 6.5.2 lightguides shall conform to 6.5.3. 6.5.2 Lightguides shall be subjected to impacts using the apparatus and method given in annex C of BS 6387 : 1994. Six lightguides complete
46、 with connectors shall be tested. The test shall be carried out at ambient temperature (208C) and at2158C 28C. At each temperature the light transmittance loss shall be measured before and after the test and the change in fibre attenuation loss calculated in accordance with 6.4.2. The covering shall
47、 be examined after the test with normal or corrected vision without magnification. 6.5.3 After the test, the covering, in the case of a single layer covering, or the outer layer, in the case of a multilayer covering, shall not show any cracking. The fibre attenuation loss shall not have increased by
48、 more than 0.5 dB. BSI 07-1999 3 BS 5266 : Part 5 : 1999 1) Marking BS 5266 : Part 5 : 1999 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of t
49、he claim is solely the claimants responsibility. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable. 6.6 Fire characteristics 6.6.1 Performance under fire conditions 6.6.1.1 A sample of lightguide without connectors shall be tested in accordance with BS 4066 : Part 1 or BS 4066 : Part 2 as appropriate to its construction and shall conform to the requirements of that standard. 6.6.1.2 Lightguides of category 2 (complete with connectors) shall be tested, in addition, to a minimum of category B as given in annex D of B
